Hey all,

For the past month my car has had trouble starting. It would crank and crank and crank and finally start. when I turned the ignition on and let it prime, it would start right up. I figured low fuel pressure. One night on my way home, it would not crank at all. I ended up having it towed to a friend's repair shop and he told me my ignitor went bad. I had him replace that. That made it crank right up but it still had a long crank time. On my way home, the car started skipping like it isnt't getting fuel. It does it the most in gear sitting still or when I really punch the gas. I replaced the fuel pump tonight. First drive it worked great. I decided to reset my fuel/air ratio, so I did that. Right after that it started skipping again. I got out and drove it and it has the same symptoms as before. It is a 1994 GT 2.2 non-cali emissions AT tranny. It is completely stock except for a K&N drop in filter. In the past year it has had a water pump, distributor, spark plug wires, ignitor, and now a fuel pump. The plugs themselves are around 2 years old.

Quick help would be appreciated as this is my daily driver.

Thanks!

I guess it could be a bad distributor. Its practically new from a reputable auto parts manufacturer, but I guess that doesn't mean anything now days. The fuel pump is installed correctly.
